How early they start teaching will vary from student to student. But I think teaching (at the very least, helping newer students with the material) is important.

"If you want to learn, study. If you want to understand, teach." -- a composite paraphrase drawn from several quotes I've read over the years.

It will definately help buid your slf esteem! The first couple of times I was in front of the class in charge, it was almost intimidating.

I don't agree that everbody should start teaching early. It depends on the type of person.

Some people will learn from this exspirence, and other wont. We are not equal. Evebody has to be handled as the person as we are.

Some people are just too "young" to handle the responsability to teach.
